This "WD-My Passport 2TB External USB 3.0" is a great external hard drive, very compact and great for transferring large files and freeing up space from you Desk Top or other to an external drive that can be immediately accessed.
In my case I transferred large video and scenery files to this device and ultimately freed-up over 22 GB of space on my hard drive.
Its a great drive for downloading pictures and videos from your cell phone or computer to this device where you can keep important pics and videos!
Easy to install and comes with AUTO-Back-Up Software to keep your documents safe and secure. you have my VOTE! on this.

The storage is huge compared to how small it is (even smaller than the size of my palm). Plus, it's so light, unlike my old Transcend hard drive....

I already owned a WD Passport but I needed a new one with a lot more storage capacity. I have found the WD Passports very easy to use and have been very reliable.

I was looking for a 2 TB external hard drive at a reasonable price and Western Digital was a perfect fit. This drive is very small and light and holds a ton of data. Highly recommended.

Easy set up with no issues, I have an older model I have been using consistently for many years. It is compatible with your consoles (PS4 and PS5), I recommend using it to download any PS4 purchases to maintain open space for PS5 games.

I needed this in a pinch and it has been amazing. Cannot recommend Western Digital products enough. They last a long time and work on everything if formatted to the correct format. If you want to be sure it works for both MAC and PC, reformat it to exFAT before storing anything on it. It will work on any OS out of the box, but it's usually best to re-format it to exFAT.

Great bang for the buck -- Smaller and lighter than the old Seagate that was good but finally went to heaven -- Transfer rate is great -- I've been playing with computers and the like since 1963 -- Yup -- Old but good -- I tested this thing and it is 100 percent -- 2TB should take care of my needs for at least 5 years -- I hope the data growers use some common sense cuz (help support cuz - It is way more efficient) we humans can only use so many pixels to define a image -- May need advanced drives for politicians -- Stay Safe

The physical size of the drive was smaller than I expected. The 2TB was more than enough space to save photos and videos that I had stored in the cloud and multiple different flash drives. Software was easy to install and works great with my Google drive. Only downside is the software is a bit temperamental and closes everytime you click out of the program.

You have to backup your documents and pictures

I have always been a Western Digital fan, good, reliable products at decent prices. This particular drive was a gift for our daughter so she could backup pictures of our grand kids, this is very important to Grandpa and Grandma. So if you are reading this review you are looking for a backup drive, just quit looking and buy it. If your family pictures are sitting on a 6 year old desktop or laptop drive you are tempting fate. I retired from over 40 years in computers/IT and as good as the technology is, I promise you it will fail.
